Update
This article has been updated with information about Ald. Jeanette Taylor s call for, and withdrawal, of a second December City Council meeting over the Anjanette Young incident.
Incidents of police officersâ misconduct toward Anjanette Young, a Black woman, sparked tempers at the Dec. 16 City Council meeting.
Pilsen Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th) said there is a systemic problem with police brutality in Chicago during the virtual meeting, referring to the mistaken 2019 police raid on Young, who was handcuffed naked and told officers dozens of times that they had the wrong home, as first reported by CBS 2.
The Tribune has since reported that Mayor Lori Lightfoot s administration tried to block WBBM from airing body camera footage of the raid, released under a Freedom of Information Act request, and tried to have Young sanctioned for allegedly violating a confidentiality order.
